Asian baked wings Archives

I’m usually a little leery of baked wings that are marinaded in anything with sugar or honey in it. High heat tends to make the marinaded skin char easily. That’s why I went into making these roasted honey chicken wings with a little bit of worry. Well, whew, they came out great! Oh yeah, a little longer in the oven would’ve been bad news, but the cook time was spot-on. I ended up with super-tasty wings that were cooked just right. No char flavor at all, just yumminess! Lightly sweet, with a Asian-inspired taste, these are really great baked wings.

Turn Once And Enjoy

The process for making these roasted honey chicken wings is pretty straightforward. Make marinade. Add the wings. Go do something for 3 hours. Come back. Put the wings in the oven. Flip the wings once while cooking. Eat. Seriously, how much easier can you get?

I used a silicone mat on a baking sheet when I made these wings. The nice thing about it is that it saves me a few cents on foil. The downside is there is a little cleanup involved. Foil works just fine and honestly, I’m leaning towards using that the next time. You could use parchment paper instead if you want.

These baked maple wings are a fantastic wing for a party. Any party. Or the big game. They are easy to make and come out tasting absolutely fantastic. If you make the recipe as stated the wings are slightly sweet, with a slight hint of spiciness. They are impossible to stop eating. The skin doesn’t get crunchy but it has a nice bite to it. Not ‘weird’ like some baked wings can get.

Make It Several Ways

The beauty of the recipe for these baked maple wings is that you can make a minor change or two and have slightly different wings. That’s what makes these so great for a party. You can make several batches at once, letting your guests decide what variation they prefer.

For a spicy version add more pepper flake or add some hot sauce. For a more Buffalo-inspired version, add a cup of Buffalo sauce. The sauce recipe is very flexible.

Twist And Turn

As easy as these wings are to make, make sure you don’t ignore the instructions to turn them every 20 minutes during the first part of the cook. During the second part, where you’re cooking them using higher heat, definitely don’t ignore the wings for long. They’ll get golden brown quick. A little color is great. But don’t burn them!
